1584 Dialog box reference

Convert MIDI To Shapes dialog

Use the Track view Clips > Convert MIDI Controllers to Envelopes command to open the

Convert MIDI To Shapes dialog box. This command lets you convert a controller envelope created

in the Piano Roll view to a Track view envelope, or shape.

See:

“Creating and editing automation envelopes” on page 1019

Convert MIDI Clip(s) To Step Sequencer dialog

The Track view Clips > Convert MIDI Clip(s) to Step Sequencer command opens the Convert

MIDI Clip(s) to Step Sequencer dialog box. This command lets you convert any selected MIDI clip

to a step sequencer clip. There are two available options:

• Resolution. The resolution value should correspond to the shortest note value that you expect.

For example, if you specify Sixteenth notes, you will get four steps per beat. The choices are:

• Quarter (1 step per beat)

• Eighth (2 steps per beat)

• Eighth Triplet (3 steps per beat)

• Sixteenth (4 steps per beat)

• Sixteenth Triplet (6 steps per beat)

• 32nd (8 steps per beat)

• 32nd Triplet (12 steps per beat)

• Preserve original timing (using time offsets). Select this option if you want the Step

Sequencer to preserve the original timing of the note events instead of quantizing them to the

nearest step.

See:

“To convert a MIDI clip(s) to a Step Sequencer clip(s)” on page 1830

Note: If two clips overlap, the command converts the controller envelopes in both clips, in

whatever parts of the clips lie in the selected time range.
